Bungoma County has set aside Sh19.7 million to expand a maternal unit facility to enhance maternal healthcare and minimise maternal and newborn deaths.
The planned facelift includes renovation and equipping of the facility, strengthening emergency obstetric services, and creating a safer and more conducive environment for mothers and infants receiving treatment at the facility.
Bungoma County Referral Hospital (BCRH) Medical Superintendent Dr Simon Kisaka disclosed that the maternal unit serves as the main referral centre for the wider Western Kenya region, handling a high volume of deliveries and neonatal cases every day.
